Response from Van's A/C
*******************
Roger, Well under way. We are not allowed to submit any part of the paperwork
for S-LSA
approval until we have the entire package complete which requires that we have
all of the
subkits in final configuration...including avionics and firewall forward packages.
We are
getting close on these and will be submitting the completed package to the FAA
just as soon
as we have it all finalized and in good order.
You may have heard that the FAA recently started doing audits on some of the existing
S-
LSA mfgs out there. Overall grade...D! The FAA has allowed S-LSA mfgs to essentially
self-
approve by submitting an affidavit stating that they have accomplished all of the
flight test,
manual, maintenance program, QA requirements, etc. The FAA accepted the affidavit
as
proof that the testing and documentation was complete...apparently not the case
with some
S-LSA mfgs.
Bottom line, when Van's submits the package for S-LSA certification for the RV-12,
we
expect it will become the 'gold-standard' for S-LSA certification. Our engineering
crew has
been very thorough and we expect no 'bumps' once it is submitted. We appreciate
your
patience and are working hard to finalize the RV-12 project.
Thanks, scott at van's
